2016; Dream On

[NewYorkExpress]

For Both Parties it was a difficult journey to Election Day. On the Republican side, a late November slide by Donald Trump, allowed Dr. Ben Carson to seize Iowa, and ride  a wave of momentum to the nomination...knocking out the last of his opposition in Rand Paul and Marco Rubio on March 15, with victories in Ohio, Illinois and Missouri. Carson would select Rubio as his running mate, citing his strong performance on the trail, and creating an all-minority GOP ticket. 

On the Democrats side, the race showed shades of 2000, as Hillary Clinton narrowly beat back challenges from Bernie Sanders in both Iowa and New Hampshire, before winning in wider margins in Nevada and South Carolina, forcing Sanders from the race. Clinton tapped Former Washington Governor Gary Locke (last seen as Ambassador to China) as her running mate, raising eyebrows amongst the chattering class.

While the campaign was largely overshadowed by the refugee crisis in Europe, Carson performed well in the first and second debates (though he didn't "win" the second.) Rubio "won" the VP debate, and while Hillary dominated the third debate, many thought it was too little too late.

Most analysts heading into the election, still predicted Democrats to gain a net of 1-2 seats in the Senate, and about 10 seats in the House, despite losing the White House by a narrow margin. 

Note; House Races will be seats that change partisan hands only

Stutzman is the likely nominee for this seat. He's the grassroots and small business favorite. Young will be tough but Stutzman is the consensus favorite to win this race. An upset by Holcomb or Young is not likely.

Indiana aside, good job and keep it up.
